Wow, that's summer for us!
@@MaditaFin but it's a winter temperature here in Queensland.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO LADIES AND GENTLEMAN ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE 😊
Maybe pa should try and get the pole thru on its own and try to pack it up by waggling or vibrating the pole to loosen it up first.
what a great idea your dad came up with that idea plus a system to store it with in your truck.
the best solution would be one of those bar segmented bar things, and then one bar with the plate on the end, and then another with a good hook on it. push the bar through, then on the far side put the one with the plate, and on the other side the one with the hook, and then use a come-along tied to a tree to pull it through. come-alongs are a huge force-multiplier and what my dad used to use to bring the game he hunted to his truck, like huge elk and moose.
Dad said he has something similar he will be using in the future, good idea 😊
diva!
I saw a guy use a long drill to make holes in a beaver dam once - if you could combine the length of that multi pole gadget with a wide drill head and a bit of spinning power you might get through some of these dirt/mud/leaves/stick clogs pretty easily.
Once you have made a hole or 2 with the drill it would be much easier to thread that pole gadget and just push the rest of the material through the pipe.
That’s a good idea, dad has been thinking about putting screws through the wood piece so it would hopefully tear the debris. Then hook up his grinder on the handle so it would spin the pole.
@@culvertsandmore Good luck! 👍🏼
Those ole pesky floods good morning from North Carolina
I have seen people use an old tire that had a cable tried around the tire and fished one end of the cable through and pulled the tire through the culvert to pull everything out. However, you will have to use a come along hooked to a tree or a wrench to pull the tire tire through, just a thought. May not be easy.
I wonder if I’m the only one who found herself moving shoulders with each push. Omg…really enjoying this! I would have tried with the pole alone to see if it’d loosen the debris a bit. The piece at the front may be compacting the plug up even more. Just my helpful suggestion…😅 It’s a balmy 8 degrees celsius here today…just bits of snow left in the fence corners. Can’t wait for next instalment ❣️ 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Maybe trying to push it from the exit may help. Anyway awesome job like always. Your dad is a champion. ❤
Well you certainly don't need to pay for a gym membership with the workouts you are getting on these culverts!
Would a smaller end, maybe a 4” disc, be easier to push through and then put the bigger wood disc? Your family is amazing. I love how you all work together. Greetings from Southeastern Kentucky.
When you watch the blocked drain high pressure water jetting people, they often put through a very small initial nozzle, to break through, and allow water through, which helps to wash away the mud and smaller debris, so the hole gets bigger. Then they put through the next size one, and eventually the big ones. Perhaps using the wonderful pole extensions, with the front end blocked, or even with a pointed screw on end, and pushing it along and through the bottom, where the water might flow, you might be able to do similar ? I had the feeling that possibly you were tamping it into an ever more solid barrier.. hope not
Now you got dad hooked on this too!
Loving the whole family dynamic. And I believe dad likes to be there to help his ladies out!
I need some of those gloves to clean my koi pond skimmer out!
Very good attempt to unclog, a pity that not all worked out like you hoped for. I felt my own back.
Love you❤
Aloha 🌺 Appreciate you trying! 🥰
your dad is awesome
very smart build Dad
i must say you guy a great and your dad is a legend he went in head first into that culvert to get it cleared love the vids and keep up the great work
Wow, thank you 😊
That blockage was a tough one! I was holding my breath through the whole thing. The weight of those pipes alone would be exhausting!

Oh wow! Great job trying and what an awesome dad you have, helping you out and crawl into that culvert. Way to go, dad!!
I ❤ your family team, oh and your new gloves lol 😆 watching from England 🇬🇧
Great effort!
If you take home a load of stumps and branches every time, you can stay warm all winter
Our winter last about a week 😂
Watching you guys I had a thought... which might be dangerous, but...
When you use that long pole and were pushing against the block, you are pushing everything INTO whatever blocked it.
If you started from the other side (the exit) you could try to push things OUT of the blockage.
Which might just loosen everything enough to be able to then pull it out from the entrance side.
Good advice, that one is a hard one to fix. Hopefully in the future we can try again
from someone who could never do it but if it is that clogged then maybe run the pipe through without the board on the end a few times to break through the jam then attach the board. easier to poke 6 or 7 small holes before going for it. But you guys are knocking it out the park
Great job as always Jen, Mom and Dad.
Gloves on, gloves off... great job team
A great attempt to penetrate the line. Thanks for the efforts! 🙂👍🇺🇸
21.58 Pops is thinking 'should I make a run for it' 😂. I was pushing every time you were and I'm knackered and I was only helping in my head !!.
Lol. He was thinking the same thing 😂
All those big logs, do you have a fire at your place lol... Ohhhh how I love a good fire on a cold rainy night
It would be really cool to get some footage of these different locations during or after a rain while they are gushing. Or clogged. 🤷🏻♂️
We did have a video a while back during a flash flood that showed these areas under water.
Oh I get the long extension pole now. Hope he patents it!! ❤❤❤
What if you used a thin tube like your handy dandy dad tool with a cord threaded through it and push it through from one side to the other and then pull from both sides to maybe loosen it a little then use the other tool?
You should have your dad add a T-Handie on the end, and one one the middle too at the second to last end for better results? Just a thought
nice work. you got the others going.
Your mom is a very hard worker.
You need one. Attachment for you extension pipe with a point on it and a pipe wrench to turn it like a drill to make a break in the blockage
Hi guys. 11.15 am Sunday morning in South Australia. Every time you both pushed that rod I was there pushing with my phone. Sorry I can't help more but I fell over yesterday morning and landed on my left knee so sore ++. Lucky though at 65 I didn't break anything, this time. Had 3 breaks in last 4yrs. Keep up the good work and good to see dad out there with you. Seems he is as smart at improvisation as my dad was. ❤
Hope all is well with you. Thanks for watching!
Sorry you are having those problems, be careful 😊
Thanks. We all have our little problems but we get through.🙂
Absolutely looks like hard work.❤
Love love love these videos !
It looks like hard work to me. It’s a free workout! 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
You all work as a well oiled machine
Jenn is so pretty
You should call that tool the "Dam Ram"
Hi, I love your determination and passion for the job at hand . This world needs more people like you all. Keep up the great work and stay safe .
Dad's tool is brilliant, but you need a twist-on 'T' for a push/pull handle.
Hi hope your well love from England
You are all doing great work. That is hard work. Wondering if you would attach a potato rake to a long handle so you can reach inside the culvert to pull stuff out.
Thank you for doing the job you are doing it's so nice to see a good in the world 🌎 from cath Thomas in the uk
Why are you putting the debris right back into the flow? it should be removed so as to not block the downstream flow. you are doing some great work but i feel you are adding to the blockage.
don't know how much U-tbe pays but you should get pay a lot more
Three pair of hands) Teamwork makes the dream work.
Dads still very sharp how old is he
Jeff is 63
Ghez, he is not that old. Youngster, you'll find out. 😂
Try a small sledge hammes and a block of wood over the end of the pipe the drive it in. (Just a suggestion) You gave it a try and that is that counts l enjoyed your videos. (Mississi ppi Gilf Coast, USA
